WRINKLE REDUCTION TREATMENTS
HOW DO WRINKLE REDUCTION TREATMENTS WORK?
Wrinkles and lines naturally form as part of the aging process due to the continual contraction of facial muscles used for various expressions, such as frowning and squinting. Wrinkle reduction treatments involve injecting an active ingredient into targeted areas to relax these muscle contractions. This reduces excess movement, softening the appearance of lines and providing a rejuvenated look in line with your desired outcome.
​
WHAT IS INVOLVED?​
The process begins with a thorough, in-person assessment to discuss your specific concerns and desired results. During the treatment, a purified protein solution is precisely injected into specific facial muscles using a very fine needle, causing minimal discomfort. Each wrinkle reduction treatment takes approximately 15-20 minutes and delivers quick, satisfying results by relaxing muscle contractions and smoothing visible lines for 3 to 4 months.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
Results may start to appear within 3 days of treatment, with full effects visible after 2 weeks. You are encouraged to return for a 2-week review to ensure that optimal results have been achieved.
​
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
Wrinkle reduction treatments typically last 3 to 4 months, although this varies by individual and is dose-dependent. Over time, effects will gradually diminish, and treatment intervals may vary from person to person.

HOW MUCH DO WRINKLE REDUCTION TREATMENTS COST?
Costs vary based on the number of areas treated and the extent of each. Please contact the clinic for personalized cost information suited to your aims and requirements.
ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?
Generally, wrinkle reduction treatments involve minimal downtime, though there may be slight bleeding, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Residual bruising may take a few days to subside. Rare side effects can occur based on individual response to the medication, such as:
-
Spocking (raised eyebrow): May require a dose adjustment, which can be addressed during the 2-week review.
-
Puffiness or “shelfing” around the eyes: Typically resolves over the 3-month period, and may indicate the need for a dose or placement adjustment.
-
Temporary asymmetry or drooping in areas like the lip or mouth: This can be assessed and managed at the 2-week follow-up.
DISCLAIMER:
These treatments are temporary, so a maintenance plan is recommended to sustain results. Sessions should ideally be scheduled every 12 weeks.
